This was this morning in sunny Perth.
The car on the other side of the road looks like a police car but it's actually a railway police vehicle.

Much better quality than before :D

Yeah, I'd have got much closer before I gave the horn.

(PS, you need to oil your elbow joints and what's the score with that "No Birds" facility? Bloody misogynists :eek:)

No Birds - Bayswater Hire Cars.
If he'd kept going it would have been ok but he slowed down and nearly stopped as he turned and put his hand up towards me signalling me to stop as he crossed in front of me.  :undecided:

No Birds is a Car rental place.. I remembered that road well, we rented a couple of Corollas from there (cheap) on our last two Perth Trips  :happydance:

Damn.. Dave beat me too it.

On a side note:

Having light posts and other furniture in the middle area without some form of protection (crash barriers or raised protection) is not allowed here.

Accident waiting to happen as a vehicle can easily wander into the middle area as nothing to stop it.
  • 1.4 Petrol Active I'm no expert, so please correct me if

What was rattling in the car every time you hit a bump - it sounded like a bag of nails.

You strongly suggest correctly. He was. From the subcontinent.

The rattling is the dashcam. It has always done it since new.
